I think perhaps there is a typographical error or an omission in this problem.

\n" ); document.write( "P=Perimeter=30 m; b=base=6cm=0.06m; s=equal side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=b%2B2s\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P-b=2s\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28P-b%29%2F2=s\"$ Put in values
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2830m-0.06m%29%2F2=s\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"29.94m%2F2=s\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14.97m=s\"$ The length of each equal side is 14.97 meters.
